History
Established in 2012.

In 2013 a second studio in Amsterdam IJburg was opened. January 2016 the third cosy studio was opened in the middle of the 'Indische Buurt' on the 'Tweede Atjehstraat'.

Meet the Business Owner: Marco R.
Marco Rodie discovered the power of yoga in his mid-thirties, in the middle of a thriving career in the Dutch Military and Economics. Gradually Yoga practice integrated deeper into his life and became his philosofic foundation. As a consequence he left his career path to dedicate all his work and energy to teach Yoga. In 2012 he opened his first and in 2013 his second Yoga studio in Amsterdam (Zeeburg and IJburg). Both studio's soon became well known because of the personal setting, warm athmosphere and close attention for each student. The latest development is the opening of thrive Oost in January 2016.
Marco is hugely inspired by Yin and Jivamukti Yoga, a Vinyasa style which also emphasizes the intellectual and spiritual aspects of yoga (see below). Yoga is both the goal and the practice.
To achieve Yoga, means to feel connected with everyone around you, in stead of feeling separated. This is the foundation for a happy and harmonious live.
